Security by and for free software
LibrePlanet 2019

Controlling your machines is necessary for software freedom, and vice versa. But amid frequent news of data breaches, security sometimes feels out of reach. There is hope: with security education for hackers, security-enhancing features embedded into free operating systems and application platforms, and a mindful approach to data collection and management, we will prevail.

In this session, I’ll share how hackers can maintain control over their own computing, even in adversarial environments. I'll also share high-impact ways to secure your computing using free software, and how, as a maintainer, distributor, or operator, you can secure your platform for everyone’s benefit.
